Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo has become the first head of state to visit the 2012 Yeosu Expo on the same day his country’s pavilion is being celebrated at the global event.

Lugo and his foreign, agriculture and commerce ministers and the Paraguay ambassador to Korea attended a ceremony Monday celebrating Paraguay National Day at the Expo Hall. The expo is celebrating a different nation every day among the 104 countries participating.

A number of Korean officials took part in the official ceremony, including the organizing committee’s head Kang Dong-seok and South Jeolla Province Governor Park Joon-young.

The organizing committee anticipates that around 70-thousand visitors will visit the Expo venue on the last day of the three-day holiday.

More than a 110-thousand people went to the expo on Sunday, the highest number of visitors at the event in a single day since it opened on May 12th.
